There is a chance NT could have a very good team next season. It may take awhile before they get used to playing with each other. Also, there are many that are used to being big-time players on their former teams that will have to adjust to having smaller roles. I am very optimistic in the long run, but I would not be surprised by an early or mid-season slump and maybe even a few players quitting or being suspended.

I'm sure SS will be working on chemistry beginning in August when the ladies begin summer session. If they buy into the system (which most have - just by news reports), it will be a family environment conducive to growth. It is obvious that these young ladies are winners and winners generally put team first and are not concerned with individual goals. It is always a concern when you put big names together - how the team will meld, but I think UCONN proved that great players achieve great things and it is the team that wins, not one player.

I agree - SS is no nonsense. Any foreseeable trouble (in my opinion) would be "freshman freedom", but Godboldt is from the immediate area... Cuffie was at a prep (boarding) school... Hughes, Hudson, Burwell & Kellum know about "campus life"... and Taylor, Hawkins, and Thompson obviously love SS and the staff, based on news reports.

SS has raised the standard. Jump on board - it may be a bumpy ride but she is going to have this team ranked before this freshman class graduates... I can feel it! Conditioning, dedication & desire to win will not be an issue with this incoming class either.

And to address any "quitting", I don't see any of the new recruits throwing their hands up - if anyone is ready to quit - it will be the recruits from the previous staff.
